As a structures design engineer for the real thing you showed in the video this project was great to watch. Put the battery in the side compartments between front and rear axle. That’s where fuel and hydraulic tank are in real life. Also the real ones are rear wheel only as well so no need for all wheel drive.

Rather than change the motor to a 200-300 rpm one you could just change the gear ratio. At the moment you have a gear on the motor driving a geared section on the axle, if you change the ratio there, you can decrease the speed and increase the torque. If you have a 500 rpm motor and a 2:1 gear ratio then you will get 250 rpm and double the torque. You could do this by just making the gear on the axle double the number of teeth/size of the one on the motor.
@professorboots11 ай бұрын
I like the way you think! though there’s one problem which is that the room I have available wouldn’t allow for any bigger of a gear on the n20 motor.

Hmmm well I think it’s mainly going to depend on the route you take but my best advice is to find something you’re excited about(which it sounds like you have) then jump into a specific part of it.

Everything trickles from there!
